CST-438 Week 2

 Summarize what you learned about React this week.  In your opinion, what the strengths and weaknesses of React. 

This week, I learned to use the React framework to develop responsive user interfaces. I learned about state management techniques that React uses to update the state of the user interface, such as the hooks useState and useEffect. I found React’s state management techniques and UI components to be very similar to those in other frameworks I have used, such as Flutter and Android Jetpack, resulting in a minimal learning curve. I think the only weakness of React that comes to mind is the context switching required between writing JavaScript code and HTML elements within the same JavaScript function, however, these functions can be reused multiple times, reducing the need of writing the same HTML elements in other functions.

Week 4

Part 1 Educational Goals. My main educational goal is to achieve my bachelor's degree in computer science in 2 years. Another educational goal of mine is to do well in my upper division classes so I can be prepared for a career in software development. I would also like to strengthen my collaboration skills through the use of group projects.  Part 2 Career Goals. One of my main career goals is to become a professional software developer after graduation. I hope to leverage my current internship as an Android developer to find a new internship next summer, so I can explore different fields in software development. Part 3 Guess ETS percentile. If I had to guess, I think I would be in the 70th percentile. I feel pretty comfortable with programming, but I think I would struggle more with the theory-based questions and would have to review my notes from discrete/data structures beforehand.  Part 4 Learning Journal.  Writing material:  For my Ethics essay, I will need to c...

Week 9

 Codingbat questions Did you plan it out or throw code at it?  I gave it a few seconds of thought before throwing code at it What worked? Java methods were pretty easy to understand coming from C++ and Kotlin. What DID NOT work? Some of the methods involving indexes through me off sometimes, as it is easier to visualize by writing down your steps to the solution than it is trying to do it in your head. (same with some of the problems involving edge cases) How many tries did it take?  Most only took 1-3 tries.

CST-363 Week 5

  The web site   "Use the Index Luke"  has a page on "slow indexes".    https://use-the-index-luke.com/sql/anatomy/slow-indexes Links to an external site.   If indexes are supposed to speed up performance of query, what does the author mean by a slow index?  There may be additional costs that need to be made depending on the query. The author states that leaf node chains and table access may slow down lookups. If there are multiple matching entries in a lead node, the database will have to continue to reading data in the next leaf node. If there are multiple rows in a table that is pointed to from an index, each one would need to be read, decreasing performance.
